For Stainless Steels Alloys

• Quiet and stable arc, which is easy to strike and re-strike.
• Low carbon deposits increase the resistance to intergranular corrosion.
• On horizontal fillet welds, produce more of spray arc and a finer rippled weld bead.
• The weld metal is of radiographic quality.
• Electrode can be used in horizontal, vertical up and overhead positions.
• Detachability of slag is very easy.

LoTherme-408 is ideally suited for repair & joining of stabilized as well as un-stabilized 18Cr - 8Ni stainless steels of normal as well as extra low carbon versions. It can also used for welding cast steels of matching composition. 

Re-dry the electrodes at 300-350°C for one hour. Clean the weld area free of rust, oil, grease, paint, or any other surface contamination. To ensure minimal heat input, use short arc and stringer bead technique.
